According to the Italian daily newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Adrian Newey and Scuderia Ferrari appear to be getting closer to reaching an agreement, thereby initiating what could be a winning partnership.
Adrian Newey to Ferrari? The latest updates
Today’s edition of the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport describes the opportunity that has presented itself to Ferrari as a “golden chance”: to pair the most successful driver ever (Lewis Hamilton) with the most successful engineer ever.
Here is the analysis by made by the Italian daily newspaper dedicated to coverage of various sports: “Adrian Newey’s decision was certainly not made yesterday: numerous suitors have been on the move for some time and the list of those who want him is very long. Understandable. From Aston Martin to McLaren, from Mercedes to the upcoming Audi in 2026, all have sufficient money and facilities to afford his signing.”
“However, with equal money offered, Ferrari may have put a couple of extra cards on the table. Not so much its history, which is always captivating, but the opportunity for Adrian Newey to bring a World Championship back to Maranello, which has been missing for too many years. Because, if he succeeded, he would be venerated like a god on earth and this would represent the perfect conclusion to an extraordinary career.”
“And then there’s the presence in the team, from 2025, of Lewis Hamilton. The one with seven titles. Was it not Adrian Newey himself, a few months ago, who said that what his resume lacked was having worked with the British champion? Putting the pieces together and rewinding the tape, taken back three months, one might find a deeper explanation to justify the impulsiveness with which Lewis has embraced the Prancing Horse. Having such a technical director shifts the balances,” the article informs.
In short, Ferrari really seems to have another “move of the century” in hand, which should be considered of the same magnitude – if not even greater – than the signing of Hamilton.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there also appears to be a clause in Adrian Newey’s contract with Red Bull that would release him already next year. Now, the engineer’s departure from the Austrian team and his arrival at Maranello seems to be only a matter of time, thus fulfilling the dream of all Ferrari fans.
